JOHNNY KUCKS
"After his Army discharge, Johnny went to the Yankees' spring training camp. His great pitching in exhibition games won him a job with New York. Johnny, with only one year of minor league ball, is now a real major leaguer."-1956 Topps No. 88
TOM STURDIVANT
Used mostly in relief last year, Tom was 1-3 with a 3.16 ERA in 33 games. At the Yankees' Kansas City club in 1954, he was 8-9 with a 3.57 ERA with 133 strikeouts in 169 innings. He was 10-7 with a 2.98 ERA at Birmingham in 1953.
Tom was originally signed by the Yankees as a third baseman and hit .338 in 21 games for Class B Quincy in 1948. He hopes to join the Yankee starting rotation in '56.
